Hail, Potter!

Um, I already sort of knew Harry Potter represents the anti-Christ, but I had no idea Voldemort is God, Tom Riddle is Jesus, and Lucius Malfoy is the Angel Gabriel.

Nothing good can come of this. Our country is now beleaguered in the Harry Potter merchandize [sic], colorfully, festively almost announcing the arrival of the anti-Christ. The worst product available to corrupt our youth was Potter's vibrating broomstick, now taken off the market under pressure of Christian parents because it taught young girls how to abuse themselves and awoke their interest in the sins of the flesh. This is damage that cannot be undone.

Our own President and his wife have let this evil into the White House and have boasted Harry Potter themed Christmas decorations! The Vatican, not coincidentally located in the centre of Europe, has sided with the Satanists and proclaimed Harry Potter harmless; once again the Catholic Church forsakes the Christ and sides with those who would pull us down with them into eternal damnation. It may be already too late to save our world, but we can save our souls and refuse the ticket for a one-way trip to hell Potter provides. It is never too late to cancel your trip.

Well. Clearly, Satan is his father and his name is Harry. Rowling's Baby aside, anyone else get a Children of the Corn vibe here?

Trackback Excerpt: Does Harry Potter really represent the anti-christ? I haven't thought of it to be honest. But now that I think about it, people do have some odd theories about the thought behind the famous boy wizard. ......

Lucius the Angel Gabriel? Is it the blond hair or his sadistic cruelty? (Some people need to lay off the crack pipe. Just say no.)

I was going to click on the link but then I couldn't bring myself to do it because people like that scare me. I can't wait to tell my wife that the series she loves celebrates the anti-Christ!

Rowling must love this. Everytime someone throws out that stupid Satanism charge, you know her sales just get even higher. What morons.

Imani, here's the passage:

Lucius Malfoy (meaning of bad/wrong faith, again this is misleading!), a respectably dressed family man with the pale hair and ethereal looks of an Angel, representing the Angel Gabriel of the Annunciation (Luke 1:31, but with the name of the fallen one in order to confuse Christian readers) gives the girl of a humble home, Ginny Weasley, the diary of Tom Riddle.

Despite the crackpottedness of the essay, the writer doesn't prove her point very well. Some actual evidence would have been nice. As a result, I'm not convinced.

Matt, no need to fear. The essay is terrible (besides the fact that the author is nutters), so I doubt too many people will be swayed.

John, exactly. Let's say it together: "Cha-ching!"

He's "respectable"? I think these are the sort of Christians inordinately fond of the vengeful Old Testament God, and the "sword in the mouth" Jesus.

What?? Harry Potter? You are the antichrist? Good Grief what took you so long? I've been waiting for centuries. (20 of them in fact) We must meet and make plans before these foolish Christians destroy the earth completely. They now have some really exotic weapons, you know. Some capable of destroying the earth itself. We must act quickly, we do not have much time.
